Thaw meat FAST

Ever plan to take something out of the freezer to thaw, only to forget, or not have it thaw I’m the fridge in time to make the meal? I have, happens all the time in fact.

I learned that if I take frozen food and place it on an overturned, heavy bottomed pot, it defrosts faster. Turns out, metal is a great conductor of ambient heat. It warms things up, without cooking them like the microwave.

I don’t do this for things like: turkeys large roasts, or other large cuts of meat. I only do this for one hour, but one hour is all it usually takes.
